Chapter 36: Sweet Brown Sugar Water Poached Egg

Even on this man’s face, there was a hideous and greasy smile.

If anyone saw Song Jing at this moment, they would never be able to connect him with the gentle male intellectual youth who wore a white shirt and had a fair and refined face.

Lu Xiangxiang saw through Song Jing’s thoughts at this moment.

She couldn’t help but feel disgusted in her heart.

How could she have been so blind in her last life, leaving the honest and steady Huo Nanchuan behind and choosing such a sea king scumbag?

Lu Xiangxiang felt disgusted in her heart.

But in the current situation, she was alone and could not handle it alone. If she wanted to return to Huo Nanchuan’s side, she needed this man’s help.

And she was using Chi Wan as bait, which was a win-win situation!

Obviously.

Song Jing had taken the bait.

The man smiled greasyly while his eyes flickered, looking at Lu Xiangxiang and asking.

“Tell me, what is your plan? Do you need me to do anything for you?”

Lu Xiangxiang’s heart hardened when she heard this.

She took a package of something that looked like medicinal powder from her pocket and handed it to Song Jing.

“Hmph, take it, it’s a bargain for you.”

Lu Xiangxiang said with a cold smile.

Song Jing took the small medicine packet, put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, frowning and asking, “What is this?”

“Of course it’s a good thing.” Lu Xiangxiang’s smile gradually became perverted, and she sneered sinisterly, “As long as you let Chi Wan eat this thing, she will definitely listen to you. Whatever you want, you can do it!”

Chi Wan was standing in the small woods behind them.

She clearly heard Lu Xiangxiang’s words and instantly understood the purpose of the small packet of powder.

It was something that would make people lose their minds and sink into their desires!

Chi Wan wasn’t too shocked.

After all, Lu Xiangxiang had done everything to get rid of the original owner, even murder.

Now it was just about drugging.

This was arguably the most crude and brainless method.

Even Chi Wan, who was eavesdropping, understood it, let alone Song Jing, who was obsessed with women.

Song Jing didn’t think twice and put the small medicine packet in his pocket.

He even revealed a hint of impatient eagerness in his actions.

However…

Song Jing asked, “Chi Wan doesn’t even want to talk to me now, she doesn’t let me get close to her, how do you plan for me to give her this?”

He said it shamelessly.

Lu Xiangxiang rolled her eyes after hearing this.

She really couldn’t stand this man’s stupidity.

“Song Jing! I’ve prepared everything for you! How to make Chi Wan eat it is your problem!”

“What? You want to take advantage and do nothing? Do you think there are good things that fall from the sky?”

“You’re such a stupid man, how could I have been so blind in my last life…”

In the end.

Lu Xiangxiang mumbled the last sentence and didn’t say it completely.

Song Jing didn’t hear the last sentence, but he obviously heard Lu Xiangxiang’s disgust and disdain for him.

No matter what, he was a man, how could he stand such humiliation.

“Hehe.” Song Jing sneered, “Lu Xiangxiang, you say I’m taking advantage, what about you? You’ve repeatedly targeted Chi Wan, what for?”

Lu Xiangxiang said decisively, “My business is none of your concern! Mind your own business!”

“Hmph. Lu Xiangxiang, you say you’ve gone through all this trouble, you’ve tried to win me over, you’ve spread rumors all over the village, and now you’ve even come up with drugging, all for Huo Nanchuan?!”

Lu Xiangxiang’s eyes widened with anger.

“I’ll say it again, my business is none of your concern!”

How could she tell Song Jing about Huo Nanchuan becoming the richest man in the country in her last life?

Seeing her ferocious expression, Song Jing felt happy instead.

“It really is for Huo Nanchuan. Hehe, I really don’t understand you, you were the one who was clamoring to break off the engagement with Huo Nanchuan before, and now you’re clinging to him like a leech. Are you crazy, why would you fall for that poor peasant?”

“Song Jing, what’s wrong with Huo Nanchuan being a peasant, he’s better than you, you rotten cucumber! You’re much dirtier than Huo Nanchuan…”

The two stood in the small woods, arguing with each other.

Chi Wan watched from the side, only feeling that they were biting each other.

Lu Xiangxiang and Song Jing’s combination was bound together by the interests they needed, but in fact, they both looked down on each other.

If they even lost their interests, they would only bite each other more fiercely.

Hearing this.

Chi Wan had no interest in listening anymore.

She had already understood the basic situation, and besides, Huo Chuchun was waiting for her by the river.

Chi Wan came quietly and left quietly.

When she returned to the riverside.

Huo Chuchun had already finished washing her clothes and had been waiting for Chi Wan for a while.

“Sister-in-law, why did you go for so long, if you didn’t come back, I was going to go back and call Big Brother.”

“Sorry, I worried you, Xiao Chuchun. Let’s go back.”

The two walked back home together.

As soon as they entered the courtyard gate.

They saw Zhang Yue’e, who had gone out to chat, returning.

As soon as she saw Huo Chuchun, her expression was extremely excited, she rushed forward and took the wooden basin from Huo Chuchun’s hand, holding her small hand tightly.

“Great! Little Chuchun, great! It’s really great!”

“How is it? Does your stomach hurt? Do you feel uncomfortable? Are your hands and feet cold?”

“It’s all the village doctor’s nonsense! A quack doctor! He’s old and blind! Our Little Chuchun is perfectly fine, she’s perfectly fine! She’s going to be a mother in the future!”

Zhang Yue’e’s excited emotions were completely seen by everyone around her.

After all, they didn’t know that a few years ago, Zhang Yue’e had mistakenly thought that Huo Chuchun would never be able to have children.

Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly.

Since Huo Nanchuan got married, their family has been having one good thing after another!

Zhang Yue’e thought excitedly in her heart, her gaze towards Chi Wan became even more loving.

Huo Chuchun, who was hugged by Zhang Yue’e, was even more confused.

It was Chi Wan who understood something when she heard Zhang Yue’e’s last words.

Being able to be a mother is a very important thing in a woman’s life.

No one wanted to mention the previous anxiety and worry anymore.

After her initial excitement, Zhang Yue’e immediately started bustling around.

“Little Chuchun, Mother made brown sugar water poached eggs for you to eat, they’re still warm on the stove, eat them now, while they’re hot, while they’re hot…”

Speaking.

Zhang Yue’e was about to go to the kitchen.

But someone was faster than her.

Huo Dongzhi rushed into the kitchen and came out with two steaming bowls of brown sugar water poached eggs.

Not just one bowl.

But two bowls.

The young man held them carefully in his hands, his fingers were reddened by the heat, but he didn’t even frown, instead, he kept looking at Huo Chuchun.

The so-called brown sugar water poached eggs.

It is to boil brown sugar and hot water together, when it is slightly viscous, then crack an egg in.

The egg becomes white and tender in the high temperature, becoming a boiled egg.

It will also continuously absorb the syrup from the brown sugar water during the cooking process.

It is not only smooth and tender, but also sweet.

In this era of scarce resources, eggs and brown sugar were foods that every household could barely afford, so they became the best nutritional supplements.

Zhang Yue’e did more than that.

She cut some thin ginger slices and boiled them in the brown sugar water.

This way, the brown sugar water was not only sweet, but also slightly spicy, which could make the lower abdomen slightly warm.

The two bowls of brown sugar water poached eggs, one for Huo Chuchun, and the other…

Zhang Yue’e put it in front of Chi Wan.

Chi Wan raised her head in surprise, “Mother, why do I have one too?”

After all, Chi Wan, she didn’t have her period, and didn’t need to replenish her body.

Zhang Yue’e smiled and said, “I just made an extra bowl when I was making it. You just take it and eat it, Little Wan, the hens at home lay seven or eight eggs a day, we can’t even finish one each, no need to be so frugal and reluctant to eat.”

Huo Nanchuan also whispered beside her, “You eat it too.”

Then.

The man looked at her meaningfully.

That look seemed to have a more intense and sweeter meaning than the steaming brown sugar water poached eggs.

Chi Wan felt warm in her heart when she was looked at by him.

She lowered her head and took a sip, the sweet juice went down her throat and into her body.

The sweet brown sugar, with a hint of ginger spiciness.

It made her whole body warm.

But Chi Wan knew…

The warmth in her body was not just the effect of a bowl of brown sugar water poached eggs.

It was also because of the unfinished business between her and Huo Nanchuan.

The man’s look just now clearly had a hint of ambiguity.

It entangled her tightly.

On the other side of the small dining table.

Huo Chuchun was also lowering her head to drink the brown sugar water poached eggs, taking small sips, her lips were red from the heat.

Her bangs fell gently over her forehead, revealing the dark red birthmark on one side of her cheek.

No one looked at the dark red birthmark with strange eyes.

Huo Dongzhi sat beside her, talking softly.

“Little Chuchun, is it sweet?”

“It’s sweet.”

“Mother said, as long as you eat sweet things, your stomach won’t hurt, is that true?”

“… Yeah，it doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Zhang Yue’e silently watched everyone… the loving and harmonious couple, the two children who were gradually growing up… the hard days were finally over, it was great…

A look of relief appeared on her face.

After the tension and panic, it was as quiet and warm as the moonlight tonight.

After a while.

Chi Wan ate until her whole body was hot, and her lower abdomen was also swollen, as if it was going to bulge out.

Thinking that they would have to be naked together later.

If Huo Nanchuan saw this embarrassing situation, it would be too embarrassing.

“Nanchuan, I can’t eat anymore.”

Speaking.

Chi Wan pushed the half bowl of brown sugar water poached eggs in front of Huo Nanchuan.

In the white porcelain bowl, there was not only the steaming brown sugar water, but also half an egg, with a small imprint left by Chi Wan around the egg.

The man, who usually didn’t blink an eye when eating Chi Wan’s leftovers, refused at this moment.

He said softly, “You eat slowly, I’ll stay with you.”

Chi Wan shook her head.

She really didn’t want to eat anymore.

Her clear and bright eyes turned.

Chi Wan’s red lips curled up, a sly smile in her eyes.

She leaned close to the man’s ear, breathing softly, her breath like orchids, she said very softly.

“Eat this… it’s good for your body… you should replenish your body too.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

Chi Wan pursed her lips and chuckled softly.

That smile was both charming and playful.

Huo Nanchuan’s black eyes stared unblinkingly, his strong body was silently tensing up.

He didn’t say anything.

His large hand picked up the white porcelain bowl, then tilted his head back and drank the rest of the half bowl of brown sugar water poached eggs in one gulp.

Huo Nanchuan chewed the smooth egg in his mouth forcefully.

His mouth was full of sweetness.

But he didn’t dare to look at Chi Wan anymore.

He was afraid he couldn’t control himself.

He couldn’t wait to drag Chi Wan back to the room immediately.

Press her down.

Taste the soft lips that were sweeter than brown sugar water poached eggs.

Huo Nanchuan anxiously waited for the night to deepen.

Finally.

Everything was over.

It was finally time to go back to the room to sleep.

However——

“Sister-in-law, can I sleep with you tonight?”

A soft voice came.

Chi Wan and Huo Nanchuan were both stunned.

Huo Chuchun didn’t know when she walked to their side.

She held onto the corner of Chi Wan’s clothes with her hand, her eyes looked at Chi Wan with a pitiful and sparkling look, as if she had something to say.

Chi Wan was stunned.

She subconsciously turned to look at Huo Nanchuan beside her.

Perhaps this man had the real power to decide about Huo Chuchun’s question.

Huo Nanchuan’s face immediately turned black.

Before, he was just one step away.

But now, even the right to sleep with her at night was going to be taken away?!

Even Huo Nanchuan, who always loved his younger brother and sister, couldn’t control the annoyance in his heart at this moment, his deep eyes were dark and unclear.

And he.

He was just standing in the shadows under the eaves, making it impossible to see his expression at this moment.

Only Chi Wan could feel the strong emotions emanating from him.

It was impatient, it was annoyed, it was struggling.

She even felt that the strength of the man’s hand holding her palm was increasing.

And on the side.

Huo Chuchun, who was naive and innocent, was still silently watching Chi Wan, her eyes filled with affection and attachment.

Chi Wan was completely caught between the two siblings.

Both her brother and her sister wanted to sleep with her.

But she couldn’t be in two places at once, she was only one person.

Between Huo Nanchuan and Huo Chuchun, Chi Wan would of course choose Huo Nanchuan.

She didn’t want to disappoint the man.

And she had been waiting for this day for a long time.

“Little Chuchun, tonight…”

Chi Wan thought of some words in her mind, intending to politely refuse Huo Chuchun, but the man beside her suddenly spoke.

And it was.

Completely the opposite meaning.

“Okay.”

Huo Nanchuan’s voice fell heavily.

In an instant.

Chi Wan and Huo Chuchun’s eyes both looked at Huo Nanchuan at the same time.
